Structural scheme setting and ETABS Analysis of RCC Building

Subject Matter Expert

This course is designed to familiarize learners with various aspects of reinforced concrete building design, offering a multifaceted approach to enhance their skills. This comprehensive course explores crucial aspects of structural engineering, covering architectural drawing interpretation, and scheme setting. The course will cover common floor systems such as continuous two-way slabs and flat slabs, as well as drop panel design, sizing considerations, and edge beam functions. The module then shifts focus to reinforced concrete columns, emphasizing critical considerations in their location, sizing, and architectural significance. Lateral load systems, including shear walls, are explored in compliance with IS 1893 standards. Additionally, learners gain practical proficiency in ETABS modeling for multi-storey buildings and SAFE modeling for detailed floor system design, ensuring a holistic understanding and application of structural design principles.
